The townspeople came to an arrangement with the priory for the complete rebuilding in the 15th century, and the church was rebuilt in sections with the nave being done first between 1432 and 1444, the chancel between 1445 and 1448, the tower between 1449–59 and the screen from 1459 to 1460.

The mason Roger Crowden is noted as having designed the tower, and given the similarity in style for the rest of the church, he may be responsible for the whole works.

It is erected in the south chancel aisle and comprises a tomb-chest in an ogee recess with quatrefoil decoration.

The basis of the current instrument is a pipe organ which was built by Father Henry Willis for the Great Exhibition in 1851 and installed and opened by him in Totnes on Sunday 11 August 1861.

[7] It has since had subsequent restorations and modifications and now comprises 3 manuals and pedals with 33 speaking stops.
